My ongoing theme is always the truth, as I see it, and the exposure of lies, deception and manipulation wherever they exist. I remain firmly convinced that the world can no longer resist its innate urge to unite and co-operate with one another and we are very close to the point where war can no longer be an option if this transformation is to occur.

CHRIS HEDGES ENDORSES JILL STEIN

The politics of fear is ruling this Presidential election and
it's time for our conscience and self-respect to take over and erode fear in
the process. There is no better reminder in this process than Chris Hedges
whose activist voice to power echoes those of Amy Goodman and others, including
myself, who know that this is our moment in 2016 and our conscience and
self-respect, not our fears, must be our guide: Allen L Roland, PhD

“Just remember,' a Marine Corps lieutenant colonel told me as he
strapped his pistol belt under his arm before we crossed into Kuwait, 'that
none of these boys is fighting for home, for the flag, for all that crap the
politicians feed the public. They are fighting for each other, just for each
other.”
~ Chris Hedges,
War Is a Force
That Gives Us Meaning

On a
realistic note ~ there
is only one party (the War party) ~ there is only one candidate ~ there is only
one choice because in the New World Order, there is no choice for it has
already been decided by the global establishment ~ all the rest is kabuki
theater presented for our entertainment ~ but there are still pockets of truth
although their voices have been muted by the
corporate media. Chris Hedges is one of those voices as is Amy Goodman and Abby
Martin ~ see Abby's take on Hillary Clinton; Video / 24 minutes ~http://www.veteransnewsnow.com/2016/10/26/abby-martin-exposes-what-hillary-clinton-really-represents/

On a
much lighter note ~ kindly allow me to digress for a few
hilarious moments and offer Lionel Nation's take on the total absurdity of this
latest Clinton Weiner gate email scandal ~ You Tube / 30 minutes ~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA61YSmLUTc

Returning
to the subject at hand ~ the following are excerpts
from a public endorsement letter from Chris Hedges to theSTEIN/BARAKA
HEADQUARTERS ~

"My
reporting and writing, which has taken me to many parts of America, has
convinced me that the traditional mechanisms of reform, including the two major
political parties, have been captured by corporate power.

We no longer live in a functioning democracy, but a system the
political philosopher Sheldon Wolin calls “inverted totalitarianism.”

We will
step outside this system and build alternative movements, including alternative
political parties, or see the rise of a Christianized fascism, of which the
Trump campaign is the dress rehearsal.

The
current policies of austerity and endless war, of wholesale surveillance, of
Wall Street fraud and abuse, along with a refusal to enact a massive green
energy program to save our environment, will by 2020 ensure the rise of a
far-right candidate endowed with a discipline and political skill that eludes
Trump.

If Jill
and the Green Party can get 5 percent of the vote we will have $10 million in
federal funds in 2020 and broad, nationwide ballot access. This election is
about building the momentum for this historical moment.

The
time for resistance, genuine resistance, is now. We must step outside the
political mainstream. We must, like Greece and Spain, invest in movements and
parties to reverse our corporate coup.

We must dismantle the neoliberal policies and imperial adventurism that have
laid waste to our civil liberties and are destroying the nation and the planet.

About Me

I'm a disabled active duty Navy veteran who was born in Boston, Massachusetts, survived a dysfunctional family, pursued and lived my dreams, including being a Navy carrier fighter pilot. I found myself by fully opening my heart, wrote three books, sired four children and I'm still living my ultimate dream by making a difference from a place of celebration and service. My 1998 PhD dissertation on the UNIFIED FIELD was chosen by Noetic Science and Common Boundary as one of the top three world finalists on combining psychology and spirituality. I retired from my private practice in 2014, because of my service connected asbestosis related lung disease, and live in Antioch, California but still remain involved as a featured columnist on Veterans Today and heart centered spiritual consultant and advisor ~ particularly with combat veterans with PTSD as well as others with PTHD ( Post Traumatic Heart Disorder).
